We make these engines (well the T56 version only spare parts as the AE is the newer engine)

Mine is under renovation. Pardon the mess, it is a working man's man cave/garage/shop,etc. I also will be moving several times within the next couple of years for the USAF.

I "lost" my '72 Corvette for 3 years (2010-2013)....can you spot it?

My 1970 Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet project. I am currently 23. I have had this car since high school. The '72 orange Vette I have had since I was 15. I had 5 seconds to jump from the camera, up the jack and turn around for that shot under the hood. Not bad considering the circumstances, IMO.

For me, my driveway is an extension of the garage/ man cave. I don't have a couch or a TV, yet, but for me...wrenching on the cars is what I do in my man cave. My room is an extension of that as well. I have a pretty large bedroom. It is roughly the size of an over sized 1 car garage. I have stored most of the shell of my '70 Mustang in my room at one time. Anyways that is what is up with me.

That's definitely a nice collection.

Just bought a house but the mancave is going to be a next summer project... going to do a 65" LG OLED 4k tv. Sonus Faber (not sonos) speakers for the front with Bowers and Wilkins M1's for my surrounds and still undecided on the heights for Dolby Atmos. Sub will be either a Dynamo 1000 (or 700s) or a dual setup with SVS SB13-Ultra and PB12-Plus (one is sealed and one ported for different uses)

I have the Marantz SR6010 receiver and MM7055 amp for the Sonus Faber speakers which are being ordered within the week.

Waiting for Sony to come out with a 4k Blu-ray player because the existing Samsung is junk and why not buy from the company who designed it.

 

Gonna fill the walls and ceiling with Roxul Safe and Sound insulation with a plan being that you wouldn't be able to hear much of anything outside the room. so whether I am gaming, watching a movie, or listening to music one wouldn't know without joining me :D

Here's mine, 40x60 shop with 20x40 living quarters. I decided to rent out my house after I spend all of my free time in the shop and its the best decision I've ever made. I'll have to get a good pic of the bar I built in the shop..

This is a man.

That man says: "Stop calling your garage or basement a Man Cave, fool! Man Cave is a shitty term that only shitty people use, so grow up and stop being a shitty shithead, fool!"

Thought this was man caves?? Making me depressed to see these badass shops...damn impressive. I'm jealous!! Does my 5x10 storage unit with an old crummy motorcycle in it count?

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
